Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 479 - 478

Chapter 479: 478

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Young Master Zhou’s father and his entourage finally arrived.

They had already roughly understood the situation when they received the phone call, knowing that their son had gotten into trouble with Su Yang. They were all so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Upon entering the room, Young Master Zhou’s father and the others walked straight towards Su Yang and bent over in unison, saying, "Master Su, we are terribly sorry. Our foolish son was blind to Mt. Tai and has affronted you. You may punish them as you see fit, and we will not shield them!"

"Is that so?" Su Yang replied with a faint smile, leisurely picking up a few chopsticks.

Young Master Zhou and the others were so scared that they kept backing away. They had witnessed Su Yang killing someone with chopsticks. Now, Su Yang was picking up a few more chopsticks; was he planning to take their lives as well?

Young Master Zhou’s father and the others didn’t know what had happened, and they said in unison, "Of course, having the audacity to offend Master Su is a grave sin indeed. Please, Master Su, deal with them however you see fit—we won’t object!"

"Heh heh..." Su Yang chuckled, playing with the chopsticks in his hand, "I’ve already dealt with one of them. Since you’re all saying this, maybe I should just deal with all of you?"

The fathers hadn’t spoken yet, but Young Master Zhou and the others were already panicking.

"Dad..." Young Master Zhou said urgently, "Master Su... Master Su has already killed Fifth Brother..."

"What?" Young Master Zhou’s father was shocked, and as he turned his head to look, he saw that Fifth Brother was still nailed to the wall. That chopstick was particularly conspicuous.

Young Master Zhou said in a low voice, "Dad, he was... he was killed with chopsticks..."

When they had entered the room, their focus had all been on Su Yang, none of them had even glanced at the wall, so naturally, they hadn’t noticed the dead body there.

Now, seeing the corpse, they were all petrified, too. Thinking about the chopsticks in Su Yang’s hand, if all of them were thrown, wouldn’t their sons all die here?

Young Master Zhou’s father swallowed hard, turning towards Su Yang with trembling voice saying, "Master Su, however... however you wish to punish them is fine, just... just spare their lives, please... we have no complaints..."

Young Master Zhou’s father was indeed a shrewd one. He changed his tune, but the gist was to ensure his own son’s life was spared.

Still playing with the chopsticks in his hand, Su Yang said softly, "Just now you said I could deal with them as I please. I was just thinking about killing them, and now you want me to spare their lives? Are you toying with me?"

Young Master Zhou’s father trembled with fear. Angering Su Yang was simply a death wish.

"No, Master Su, you misunderstand ..." Young Master Zhou’s father quickly said, "I... I only have this one son. Please... please be magnanimous and spare his life, how about it? Whatever your conditions are, just state them—I... I’ll make sure they’re met..."

"Is that so?" Su Yang said with a faint smile, looking towards the other fathers, "And what about you all?"

These men nodded in dismay; at this point, all they could do was to save their own sons’ lives.

"It seems everyone is quite sincere!" Su Yang nodded slowly, "In that case, I will give you all a chance to live."

"Thank you, Master Su, thank you, Master Su..." Everyone repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

"Don’t thank me just yet." Su Yang said with a smile, "I haven’t yet stated my requirements!"

The group’s expression turned solemn. Su Yang was well-known in Pingnan Province. Offending Su Yang, no one would end up with a good outcome. At this moment, what kind of simple request could Su Yang possibly make?

Su Yang’s gaze swept over everyone and he said in a loud voice, "Today, I had your sons call you and Zhou Family’s Family Head over to resolve this matter. I gave them half an hour. It’s very easy for you all to get here in half an hour since you are in Zhongzhou City."

"However, half an hour has passed, and the only one who arrived is Zhou Family’s Family Head, Zhou Anping. The others have failed to make it within the specified time!"

"It seems, then, that out of Zhou Family, only Zhou Anping takes me, Mr. Su, seriously. And the rest of you don’t think much of me at all, do you?"

Young Master Zhou’s father and the rest were stunned, and they turned their heads to look at their sons, asking, "What is this half-hour about? We only took about ten minutes to get here, how is that being late?"

Young Master Zhou and the others hung their heads, not daring to say a word. They had completely botched this affair. Now Su Yang was using this as an excuse to deal with their parents, and this blame was going to fall on them.

"Master Su, we... we truly didn’t know that we had to make it here within half an hour..." Young Master Zhou’s father pleaded, "As soon as we got the message, we came right away. It’s just... just that we received the message too late..."

"Half an hour before, I had Young Master Zhou and the others notify you. I gave them ample time. Whether they notified you or not, I don’t know, but the time I set started from that moment," Su Yang said coldly. "What, if you come to know of this a year later, should I wait for you a whole year?"

Young Master Zhou’s father and the others were so furious that their lips trembled. If it wasn’t for the situation at hand, they would probably have wanted to give their own sons a good thrashing.

Provoking Su Yang was bad enough, but to mess up this badly was pushing them towards a dead end.

"Master Su, it’s... it’s our sons’ fault. Just spare their lives, and however you wish to punish them is fine!" Young Master Zhou’s father said again, still hoping to save his son’s life at this time.

"Fine!" Su Yang said, "I am a person who believes in clear rewards and punishments. Since Zhou Anping made it within the time I set, he should be rewarded. And since you didn’t, you should be punished. But how to reward, and how to punish?"

Su Yang feigned contemplation for a moment and then suddenly smiled, "I’ve got it—how about this? I hear that Zhou Family’s assets are quite scattered. Why not consolidate them? You few who are late, I penalize you by taking all your assets. Zhou Anping arrived on time, so those assets will be given to him as a reward. How do you feel about that?"

The fathers were stunned, looking at each other, faces turning extremely unsightly.

It became clear to them that Su Yang wasn’t simply punishing them—he was actually supporting Zhou Anping!

Lately, as Family Head, Zhou Anping had been living in frustration, his authority undermined by them.

Now, with Su Yang’s actions, he was aiming to let Zhou Anping take control of the family’s assets. If they handed all their assets over to Zhou Anping, he would essentially possess eighty percent of the family’s assets, becoming the family’s absolute authority figure. After this, Zhou Anping’s position as the Family Head would be thoroughly secured!
